WE WENT TO THE TOPEKA MALL TO HOLD PUPPIES! Just for fun. A tiny black and white, furry Pomeranian with sweet, tiny black eyes and a hyperactive, wanting to chew your toes off Giant size Schnauzer puppy. Both were so cute. I want a puppy...just not now. We had our Granddaughter with us on this HOT day. She asked if we could hold some puppies. How could I say no? I like holding the puppies also. The store had quite a few puppies, cats and birds.
Hubby had a Topeka appointment to get a thyroid scan. We got up early and drove into town. It seems like it takes so long to get to the appointments and then once the procedure takes place it is over in a matter of minutes. Afterwards, we went to Red Robin before the LUNCH CROWD arrived. Off to the Mall, then to a couple other shops. By four in the afternoon, I was ready to head HOME. I drove so Hubby and Grand both fell asleep on the way HOME. Had supper then it was turn to fell asleep in my chair. The heat took it out of me.
Thinking back on our day. I parked under a shade tree and we walked across the parking lot playing a game. How many steps to the store? About 200. This way I'd get some much needed exercise. We entered the Mall through the Furniture Mall of Kansas store and when we were ready to go into the rest of the Mall, the doors were locked. We were told that we had to exit the store and go to a different entrance to go into the rest of the Mall. This seemed rather odd. Did this help slow Covid cases down this past year and they have not returned to regular procedures? So we exited outside, walked over to a different entrance. Into the Mall we went.
The Mall wasn't busy at all. E c h o v i l l e. It was odd to have the Mall so empty. I noticed that and also how expensive the leather sectional sofas were in the furniture store. Unreal. On special SALE even. $12,700.oo. Sticker shock. They weren't kidding. Seriously. Did I fall asleep and wake to a nightmare? This was crazy.
What happened?
When we went to a consignment shop down the road, they were extremely busy. They are the ones making the sales. Still, I did a double take when a pair of used tennis shoes had $45 on them. $45 for used shoes. That's high if you ask me about used shoes. High. A several things I think you shouldn't buy secondhand...toothbrushes, underwear, eye glasses and worn out shoes. This is 2021. Welcome to the real world.
Had a super nice time with my Granddaughter and Hubby on this HOT day. This week it will be HOT. Temps near 100. Will have to be careful out there in the heat.
Honestly, I do wonder how things will progress as I grow older. With prices inflating with each passing day, I have to look for bargains. Honestly.
Several things. I don't need a sectional sofa. AND I seldom go to the Mall to shop. Which will probably not change much. No puppy for now. I never asked how much the puppies were. I can only imagine. Sticker shock for sure.
Blessings,
